Q: Peter, I am a GIC refugee. Bought ipl Pembina, Enbridge income fund and Veresen <old Forth Chicago> many years ago for income. In those days they were yielding 7 to 8% and they were not popular. They became very popular till the last 6 months and now are dropping like a rock. At what yield do you think the market will demand before they stop dropping? Interesting not one question today on Bnn on pipelines. Question two It is my understanding that Enbridge inc. sold many assets to Enbridge income fund. News release June 19. ENF said they were raising the div. this Sept, Jan 1 and every year for the next four years by 5% per year. Do you still expect this to be the case? Have tried to phone ENF and Enb, Inc with no answer.Thank you, Ken

Q: I have owned 1000 shares of transalta for several years at a cost 50% more than its current value. I am thinking of selling my holdings and reinvesting the proceeds in rnw--my option is to sell only 50% and investing the proceeds in rnw. Given the significant holding of ta in rnw does it make more sense to simply receive my ta dividend and hang on and be patient.

Q: Hi Peter and Gang,
I am currently down by about 28% on my BTO holding, I'm debating if I should bite the bullet and sell my holding or hang on to it. Would appreciate your thoughts on this. Also would you also comment on BTO ability to survive a prolonged slump in gold prices in the $1,700 to $1,800 range.

Regards,
H.S.

Could I have your thoughts to ZCL`s recent QR, particularly in view of back to back disappointing net income reports. Do you feel they have the wherewithal to increase margins on the strength of ongoing increased revenues?
Thanks as always for all you do for us.
